IPhone Contacts won't sync with iCloud

Hi!
I have my Macbook Pro and iPhone 4S synced with iCloud, so everything I do in one device shows up in the other.
About 2 days ago I noticed my iPhone contacts were not syncing with iCloud. Calendars, Notes, etc. is syncing and the Macbook Pro is syncing as well. Only iPhone contacts are not (both ways).
Any ideas are welcome!! Thank you!!!

My iphone calendar won't sync with icloud

I just set up iCloud for the first time. Everything seems to be working however the calendar on my iPhone 3GS (w IOS 5.0.1 update) calendar is not syncing with iCloud. What am i doing wrong?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
When you say it won't sync with iCloud, do you mean with iCloud.com or iCloud on a mac.

IPhone contacts won't sync with Outlook

I am trying to sync my iPhone contacts with my Outlook contacts but they won't sync. In iTunes I checked "Sync Contacts with Outlook" but nothing happens.

Check your contacts in Outlook and make sure they belong to iCloud and not My Contacts or another account such as Gmail, Yahoo or Exchange. Only iCloud contacts will sync with your devices.

Contacts won't sync with icloud

I've recently upgraded my Mac's and can't get my Contacts to upload to icloud. Prior to the OS upgrades I only had access to the cloud on my iphone, which had just a few numbers input on my phone. All my business contacts were on my non-Cloud using Macbookpro, most originally created in Entourage, but transfered via .vcf card to Mac Mail's address book a couple of years ago. There are around 2,000 entries, separated into numerous sub folders for business, family, societies etc.
I now have a brand new OS10.10 imac (no addresses on it at all), and have updated my Macbook pro to OS10.10. My contact entries are all there on the desktop, but won't upload to icloud. I've checked all the account settings on my macbookpro - icloud is the default for Contacts, and is selected in the Mac Accounts system prefs. I've tried switching these on and off and restarting the mac, but still nothing appears on the cloud. Thinking there might be some kind of interference from the handful of numbers on my iphone I deleted all the addresses on the cloud, so there are no addresses on the cloud at all now. Icloud appears on the macbook Contacts menu, so it's definitely connected, but it remains empty.
I only have one Apple account, so there's no problem there.
Any suggestions?

Hi Pimpernel,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you want to import a vCard to iCloud. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
iCloud: Import a vCard
In iCloud Contacts, choose Import vCard from the Action pop-up menu , which appears at the bottom of the All Contacts list or a list of group contacts
Select a vCard to import.

Contacts won't sync with iCloud on Mac

I'm running 10.8.2 on several Macs. I have iCloud enabled on each Mac. One of my Macs, however, will not sync Contacts to iCloud. Everything worked fine prior to the latest upgrade, but now this one Mac is like its own Contact Island. Nothing I create there gets off the island, and nothing on iCloud makes it to the island. iCal syncs, Safari syncs, Mail syncs, but not Contacts!
As far as I can tell all my settings on these devices are identical. iCloud (in System Prefs) has Contacts checked; Mail, Contacts, and Calendars (in System Prefs) has contacts checked (under iCloud); Contacts Accounts tab has iCloud enabled.
Mostly Contacts acts as if it's happily syncing (the little spin-y wheel spins next to the iCloud label above my Groups list, then it looks like a lightning bolt of some kind), but it never actually syncs. (And I don't ever actually see the spin-y ball thing on any of my other Macs that do sync, so maybe that's a sign of a problem?) Once it gave me an error "CoreDAVErrorDomain error 1," but I haven't seen that again.
What am I missing?
This is driving me nuts. Help!

Update: suddenly, after not updating, the contacts I first put on my iPhone yesterday suddenly updated onto my Mac. Phone and Mac have been on lines plenty of times since then, so why didn't the contact details go up onto iCloud in all that time?

Iphone contacts won't sync with outlook 2007

Hi,
Been banging my head against this for the last few hours and haven't found an answer in any searches of past posts,
I have it set up in itunes to sync with outloo, but when i load outlook up theres nothing there in the contacts.
Any help would be great thanks

Check to make sure the Outlook plugins are installed and active;
Start Outlook >
Tools > Trust Center > Add-ins
You'll need to see 2 add-ins; :
"iTunes Outlook Addin" and "Microsoft Outlook Mobile Service", both under the Active Applications Addin heading.
If either is missing, then do a repair install of Microsoft Outlook/Office and/or a repair install of iTunes. To do the former, go to Programs (and Features) in the control panel, find Office/Outlook, highlight it and then click on change at the top. You may need the original install CD and you will need to restart your PC. You will NOT lose any data or settings with a repair install. iTunes is the same procedure, except you click on Repair, rather than change.
Good Luck!

While my iphone (6 plus) is synced with icloud, the contacts on icloud are several years old! My phone shows that it was backed up this morning to icloud. Any ideas on why icloud is not updated with my contacts?

My iPhone 5 won't sync with the Nike Plus sensor

My iPhone 5 won't sync with Ike Plus sensor, new or old.

Hello bfelix,
You may need to switch 'Nike + iPod' off in your Settings, then re-enabling it. Make sure that the sensor is not in sleep mode (which can be corrected by pressing the small button on the side opposite the Nike and Apple logos). Depending on the age of the sensor, however, the battery may be depleted.
Make sure you have the latest version of... iPhone... software and iTunes installed.
Make sure the sensor is not in sleep mode by using a pen or stylus to press the Sleep/Wake button on your sensor once to wake it up.
On your home screen, tap Settings.
Scroll down and tap the Nike + iPod option.
Disable the Nike + iPod feature and then re-enable it by tapping the On/Off button at the top of the page.
Place the sensor back in the shoe and walk around to activate the sensor as you attempt to relink it to your iPod touch or iPhone 3GS.
If the issue persists and you have access to another sensor, link the new sensor to your iPod touch or iPhone 3GS. If you can link the new sensor to your iPod touch or iPhone, take in your first sensor for service.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1400
The Nike + iPod Sensor's battery is not replaceable or rechargeable and has a life of over a thousand active hours. The sensor has a sophisticated built-in power-management system, allowing the sensor to consume power only when active (that is, when it senses motion).

My iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes.

My iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes
I am running iTunes 11.1.5.5, and my phone is using iOS 7.1
Windows 8 recognizes that the phone is connected, and even asks if I would like to download pictures, however iTunes will not.
So far, I have stopped and restarted AMDS, iTunes, my laptop, and the iphone. None of these have had any success. I've tried using a different cable, but the results were the same. The phone can download songs via its own iTunes app, but cannot sync with iTunes on the laptop.
How can I get my phone to start syncing with iTunes again? This problem occurs sparatically, sometimes syncing and sometimes ignoring the phone altogether, like it is now.

Does your Mac meet the requirements for the latest version of iTunes?
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor and 512MB of RAM
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
Safari 4.0.3 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
In the future, you're more likely to get faster, more appropriate responses by posting to the correct forum. The iPhone Hardware forum is not the correct place to be posting issues regarding iTunes on your Mac.

HT1386 Just downloaded the newest version of Itunes. Now my Iphone 4s won't sync with Outlook calendar. Has any one else seen this?

Just downloaded the newest version of Itunes. Now my Iphone 4s won't sync with Calendar in XP Outlook. Has anyone else had this problem, and how did you fix it? I've already made sure the proper check boxes are on in Itunes and tried the reset sync history. Also re-downloaded Itunes again. Same problem.

Well, OSX 10.9.2 is free, which should solve the iTunes problem, but 10.9.2 isn't bug free, & you'll lose the ability to run any PPC Apps if that important, as well as needing to update many Apps & Printer Drivers.

My iPhone is requesting to sync with icloud, but it is using on old ID and password. How do I delete the old ID and password?

My iPhone is requesting to sync with icloud, but it is using on old ID and password. How do I delete the old ID and password?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I downloaded iOS 7 and now my notes won't sync with iCloud

I downloaded iOS 7 and now my notes won't sync with iCloud. Also, all of my notes on iCloud aren't on my phone anymore, but they are still on my computer. Can somebody please advise how to fix this issue? Thank you!

Sounds like they are being overwritten by the server as soon as you reconnect. With some effort you may be able to prevent this and recover your notes if you try the steps in Winston Churchill's post here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22600445#22600445.

MacBook Pro won't sync with iCloud, although iPhone and iPad are fine.

My MacBook Pro keeps telling me it can't sync with iCloud because my password may be incorrect. I keep re-entering the correct password, but this keeps on happening. iCloud seems to be working fine with iPhone and iPad. Also, there are 2 iCloud accounts showing on my MacBook, but if I try to delete one, it seems to delete both.

Your signature says you have 10.3.x but presumably this can't be correct - could you please make sure it's correct to prevent confusion. 10.7.2 is required for iCloud - your Mac won't be able to sync with pre-Lion systems.
The fact that you have iCloud accounts showing does suggest you have Lion: are they showing in System Preferences>iCloud, or where? You can only enter one there.
Are the two different or the same? You could try deleting both and then starting the setup again from scratch.

Mac calendar and contacts won't sync with iPhone 5 since upgrading to Mavericks.

Please,please, help,
My mac calendar and contacts (and who know what else) won't sync with my iPhone 5 since updating to Mavericks. I have lost new medical appointments on my mac which never synced to my iPhone. I am completely frazzled as I am a very busy mum (who isn't!) and the call centre is closed! A am a bit of a technophobe but have discovered the "info" tab that appears when I connect my iphone to my mac to sync has disappeared with Mavericks. I hope someone out there can help me.

Yes, you can reinstall your system from the backup you made before installing Mavericks. See this link
